FIFA World Cup 2018 - Quarter-finals [6/7 July] **spoilers**

I'm actually supporting England, it's the next 50 years of commentary that makes me cringe.
Pretty much my situation. Want England to do well, don’t want to keep hearing about it for the next forty years.

A fine sentiment, but for many the dark side of Scottishness comes to the fore on occasions like this.

The inability or unwillingness to be munificent and congratulate our nearest neighbour in their sporting endeavours,
even by our lickspittle nationalist politicians is sad as it is unforgiveable.

As in the great tradition of De Valera expressing his condolences on Hitler's death I daresay Nicola Sturgeon is
writing a letter of sympathy to King Gustaf of Sweden.
 
It's a bit weird over here watching football (Los Angeles) all the TV channels have football themed advertisements, with English commentators, feel like I'm living in some weird half reality
 
Bet the Scottish are absolutely hating this LOL :D Sweet sweet tears.

Nah.

How can anyone hate this team? They have humility and skill. A far cry from the usual egotistical, useless plebs that have been fielded for the last 20 years.

Like a lot of people, I've warmed to them over the course of the tournament. Same goes for most of the other Scots I know.
